[coolsoy]

so ummm lets talk about pokemon btw first i wanna ask who actually came up with the cartoon please i wanna know

I am a fan of the pokemon games, but not so much the anime. As for who created it, a lot goes into making an animated feature. My research has given me the following details:

It was directed by Masamitsu Hidaka from 1997 to 2006 and then Norihiko Sudō from 2006 to 2011.
It is produced by Satoshi Tajiri, Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori.
It is written by Takeshi Shudō, Hideki Sonoda and Junki Takegami.

i used to like the cartoon but haven't watched it in years

i can't believe pokemon is still around and the fact they just keep making up more pokemon is ridiculous. i memorized the first 100 when i was a kid then when they came out w/ more i said this is dumb lol

Some of the newer pokemon look like repeated ideas used for the older ones.

There was, originally, 150 pokemon.

I'm not a fan but when I was little a used to watch them with my brother.

My brother does.

I like the first 151 and up to Team Rocket expansion in the card game. After they started adding more pokemon and elements and gym cards, it got a bit too hard memorizing everything.

I remember my first card I bought was a Porygon for a dollar off a kid on my bus =P

I liked the trading card game most about the franchise (including the tcg game for the gameboy).

i used to collect a bunch of pokemon cards... i was such a geek :3

I watched the first series and after that I thought they r increasing the show for no reason

Some of the newer pokemon are pretty intteresting.

I like Drifloon and Drifblim, which are ghost/flying types from Gen IV.
There are a sentient balloon and blimp, respectively. That is pretty unique.

And some pokemon have themes based upon them. In Gen V, there are three pokemon that represent some principles of Taoism. There are two pokemon, one is white and the other is black, that represent yin and yang. The third is gray that represents wuji, the absense of yin and yang. If you look into the mythos of some of the pokemon, it is pretty interesting and you might learn something.
